the argument is, one is not required to buy a car or a house in order to exist. you and I may agree that this is ultimately a specious argument, at least as far as auto insurance goes, because to go without a car is impractical in 90% of this country.
however, that is the argument.
without a public option to force competition on a covertly monopolistic system, forcing people to buy insurance is basically a "private taxation" that directly benefits a health care corporate system, without doing anything to control costs.
